Not all hero ships were built for battle. The SS Jeremiah O'Brien served as a beacon of hope as one of many so-called liberty ships that kept wartime supplies flowing during the Second World War. The ship miraculously survived the D-Day invasion, and is currently harbored in San Francisco. It continues to participate in Fleet Weeks and cruises across the world.
